For the aspiring milliner/designer or the collector of unusal and interesting old things, here are three millinery hat blocks made by the Papier Mache Hat Block Co. of Hollywood, California. Many of you know that hats were traditionally made by "blocking" the appropriate size hat hood or body over blocks. Milliners today still practice this craft (art for some) and these old blocks are often highly sought after. This grouping is for sale as is, these set of three blocks as you see them. Included with the set is a great video on hat making entitled STRAW HAT CLASS: Easy Step-By-Step Instructions by Diana L. Cavagnaro (a $38 value).
More information on the video can be found in the "Hat Accessories" section of this web site.
